“Please save me! I’ll do anything for you!” “Then perish.”
“Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.”
“Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?”
“…Then I shall face God, and walk backwards into hell.”
“…I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.” 

-All of these are from shitposts, regrettably not from literary classics.

Shakespeare’s ghost is simultaneously thrilled that these happened and irate that he didn’t create them

Shakespeare’s ghost is probably thrilled that quotations from his plays are so indistinguishable from modern-day shitposts, but I have to point out that he did, in fact, write “Hell is empty and all the devils are here!” It’s in The Tempest, Act I Scene II line 215

While one could argue that it’s an extended cetecian shitpost, Moby-Dick is a literary classic and the origin of “I’d strike the sun if it insulted me”

Shakespeare’s ghost is peeved that Melville didn’t make more dick jokes tho

An actual Ahab quote being misascribed as a dril tweet is so high quality esp as i kept expecting the captain to declare he would face god and walk backwards into hell
